Provide "desktop" file for linux binary version
Request to provide .desktop files similar to how Syncthing binaries provide it by default: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthi.../linux-desktop and readme file for new users.
e.g. I've created this for my own purpose. Code:
[Desktop Entry] Comment[en_IN]=One stop Solution to all your e-book needs Comment=One stop Solution to all your e-book needs Exec=~/calibre-bin/calibre/calibre GenericName[en_IN]=ebook management GenericName=ebook management Icon=~/calibre-bin/calibre/resources/images/library.png MimeType=application/vnd.amazon.mobi8-ebook;application/pdf;application/epub+zip; Name[en_IN]=Calibre Name=Calibre Path= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application Keywords=pdf;epub;ebook;book;kobo;kindle; X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= Categories=Office Last edited by shuvashish76; 09-16-2025 at 05:03 AM. |
